What goes into a house renovation?
A house renovation brings an older or neglected home up to modern standards: rewiring, new heating, replastering, new kitchen and bathrooms, windows, insulation and often a new layout. It can be done room by room or as one programme while the house is empty.
- Condition survey and scope of works
- Strip-out and structural repairs
- Plastering, joinery, kitchen and bathrooms
What will a house renovation cost?
Typical ranges for house renovations. Ground conditions, access and specification move the final figure, which we fix in writing before work starts.
| House renovations | Guide price incl. VAT |
|---|---|
| Light refurbishment | £600 to £1,000 per m² |
| Full renovation | £1,000 to £1,800 per m² |
| Structural renovation and remodel | £1,800 to £2,800 per m² |
Do you need permission for a house renovation in Coatbridge?
In Scotland the key step is the building warrant, which must be granted before work begins. Planning permission is decided separately by the council, and work on shared walls is handled under your title deeds rather than a party wall act.
Internal alterations rarely need planning permission in Scotland, but structural work needs a building warrant before it starts.
What can change the price or programme?
- Living in during a full renovation is difficult; most people move out for part of it.
- Energy upgrades are cheapest when walls and floors are already opened up.
What are the steps?
- Send us the details. Give us a postcode, a rough idea of size and some photos, by phone, form or the guide price tool.
- Survey at your house. We look at the existing structure, services and access, and agree what the design needs to achieve.
- Design and fixed price. You get drawings and a written price for the agreed specification before anything is ordered.
- Construction and completion. One site lead co-ordinates every trade through to the building control certificate.
